National accounting firm Carr, Riggs & Ingram signed a 15,508-square-foot lease in the Two Lakeway building at Lakeway Center in the Metairie area of New Orleans. The deal, as voted on by local judges with knowledge of the market, has won a CoStar Impact Award.
The national accounting firm's relocation to The Feil Organization's Two Lakeway resulted from the building's onsite amenities, views and customization options for the space build-out, part of a national shift among office tenants taking advantage of current conditions to secure high-quality workplace environments.
Carr, Riggs & Ingram made this move as an expansion in the New Orleans market and occupied the space in January 2024. The 10-year lease is for over half of the fourteenth floor in the 19-story building.
About the Project: The large office property was constructed in 1984 and is just 15 minutes outside the heart of New Orleans. An institutional investor in New York City, the Feil Organization, has owned the building since 2015.
What the Judges Said: "A national accounting firm shifted its base to Two Lakeway due to its location and amenities," said Eli Gunesbakan, Commercial Sales and Leasing, NAI Latter & Blum
They Made it Happen: Bruce Sossaman of Corporate Realty represented the landlord. Dale Karrh of Newmark represented the tenant.
